Student Podcast Challenge: Cold Weather Swimming

One of our NPR College Podcast Challenge finalists brings the story of a group of women who, every week, take an icy plunge into the Connecticut River.

This is an excerpt from "Brave Souls" by Eliza Dunn, a recent graduate of Dartmouth College. Her story was a finalist in the 2024 NPR College Podcast Challenge.
